Hey Veeky Forums,
A few of you guys asked me for an update about my time living in my grandparents' cabin outside of Haugesund, Norway to write what I hope to be my debut novel.
I've been here since July 2016 and I'm happy to say that an agency here in Norway decided to take on my book (I haven't finished it yet) and if I complete it by my deadline of July 1st this year my novel should be coming out in early 2018!
Today I awoke at 8:30 as I do most days. I made a cup of black coffee and ate one piece of toasted bread and a pear. I sat on the chair overlooking the water at the back of the cabin and read a short story by George Saunders. I then took a walk for fifteen minutes and returned to spend an hour or so editing what I had written yesterday. I then wrote two-thousand words and napped for an hour. Napping really has benefited my work so much over the past several months. Waking from a nap I feel as though all the minor problems I'm having with plot or structure and so forth have been solved or at least that they appear easily solvable. My novel is now 86,000 words in length and I have around three chapters to go in addition to further editing.
If anybody has any questions I'll be glad to answer!
